I assume that he is on holiday for longer than until tomorrow and so I don't think anything official for a few days until the medical is complete.

I don't expect him to play of Wednesday against Walsall. Also means we can switch focus and fully move onto the next transfer targets (both in and out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I’ve wanted us to sign someone like Onana for years (admittedly there aren’t that many players of his ilk). I think he can be a transformative signing for us. He brings so many attributes that we have lacked. His size, physicality, athleticism, ability to regain possession, heading ability are all top class but he can also play. I think there were times last season where teams bullied us. Particularly without Mings and Bouba. That won’t happen now. In fact, we will be the team exerting physical pressure on the opposition. It’s a game changer for us. As others have said, I’m convinced that Unai wants to develop us into a high pressing team. Onana will really help us to do this, alongside some of the other signings. I wonder whether it will lead to a change in formation too. Maybe a more traditional 4-3-3. Very exciting times these. UTV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 For me I never care about what’s called a (statement signing), I just like to get it right with less risk possible. I think Onana is a very good signing, he has attributes which we need. Can play with Kamara as well as cover him. For now he can start with any of the other 3 midfielders we have without an issue. We shall be having some height as well, which is a big difference from last season. Everton fans don’t like him much, he doesn’t seem to fit their current tactics. I think that might be a good point as our approach is totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can one of our players arrange to get Bruno Fernandes to call Onana "Andre" at some point during our next match that would be great. I mean the red card probably won't help us get a result but it would be worth it to have that c0cksucker's smile wiped from his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 For at least a decade I've been saying that Villa's real weakness is midfield. We finally have possibly one of the best in the premier league, not just re starting 11 but in depth strength too. PS. Finally posted it in the correct thread now sober 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be an incredible tool but in the wrong hands it’s just a paper weight. You might hit 1 in 100 good shots with it but you’re better off just trading it in for a Ping G420 with a regular flex shaft. You’ll find way more fairways with it". 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
